This is a classic case of die deterioration doubling. It is *extremely* common on 1999 nickels. See more here:...
I think the second coin suffers from poor pictures, and is probably more attractive in hand. The strike weakness nearly obliterating the central...
This appears to be "Longacre Doubling." It has the appearance of doubling, but it isn't real hub doubling. It occured when the letter was punched...
